Soooo has anyone ordered one of these Jetways?
I'm kinda tempted to take the plunge... Is the 2nd generation ION actually any good?
Also is the only way to output sound on this via HDMI?? I usually like to go straight to the amp...

don't spend too much on the corsair... it has an amazingly fast write speed but that is irrelevant for HTPC usage. the kingston you mention is not a really good drive and discontinued. either get their 30GB drive which makes sense when you unscrew it as the circuitry is really tiny and will improve airflow, or get the excellent intel 40GB.

Its here!! - I've taken a few pics I'll post later... with 4Gb of fast RAM and the blisteringly quick SSD windows 7 literary threw itself on in minutes...
Does anyone know how the SSD should be run? ie. IDE or AHCI?
Also how do you enable TRIM?

AHCI!!!!!
Trim is on by default.
